3. West Park Farm and Sea: Good for you and the planet catering
West Park Farm and Sea restaurant makes simple Mediterranean dishes from sustainable, organic, and healthy ingredients. Their menu is truly ideal for office-catered lunches. Think farm-fresh salads with protein add-on options like falafel balls, grilled salmon, avocado, or spitfire chicken. Or wrap it up in a flour or whole wheat lavash, which is a Middle Eastern soft flatbread wrap. They have healthy lunch bowls and delicious sides like roasted cauliflower and homemade hummus.
4. Dumpling Garden: (Dim) Sum meals should be eaten sharing-style
When it comes to Dumpling Garden’s authentic Chinese dumplings, dim sum, fried rice, and noodle dishes, it’s best to order several dishes and share them family style. This way, you and your team can try a little of everything and hone in on your favorite dishes—and perfect your order for next time.
If you’re ordering for a large group, definitely try some of their namesake dumplings, like the pork and cabbage served with black vinegar and chili sauce. Or, for smaller team lunches, order from the dim sum menu. You can’t go wrong with potstickers, green onion pancakes, fresh cucumber salad, and vegetarian spring rolls. Order those with a noodle and rice dish, and you have yourself a deliciously fun, authentic Chinese team meal that everyone will love. And like our other restaurant partners, you can order catering from Dumpling Garden in individual boxes as well.
5. Una Mas Mexican Grill: Make Taco Tuesday an office tradition
We can’t talk about restaurant office catering in Silicon Valley, CA without mentioning Mexican food. One of our local favorites is Una Mas Mexican Grill. It’s been perfecting its authentic Mexican menu since 1991 (before some of your employees were born) and you can taste it. It’s no wonder they’ve won awards and accolades for their fresh ingredients and made-from-scratch burritos, tacos, sides, and combo plates. Order a couple of tacos or try a burrito with a side or two. Your team will thank us later.
6. Eighty-Eight Sushi & Ramen: Treat your team to sushi
Eighty-Eight Sushi and Ramen has a deliciously varied authentic Japanese menu so there is something for everyone to enjoy on your team. We love to order their easy-to-eat and high-quality sushi, but they also have other Japanese classics like Tonkotsu ramen (pork broth and noodle soup) and chicken katsu don rice bowls.
If you’re sharing as a team, you can’t go wrong with ordering a few different fun sushi rolls and appetizers like chicken karaage, assorted tempura, miso soups, and gyoza.
7. Milk Belly Bakery: No business lunch guide is complete without Sammies
Milk Belly Bakery in San Jose, CA makes Asian-inspired artisanal bread, like Japanese Milk Bread and Kinako Sesame Sourdough with local ingredients (whenever possible). They use this fluffy homemade bread to make their daily sandwiches. Need we even say more? For your first order, try the classic Japanese Egg Salad Sando on milk bread—-or the breakfast sandwich with bacon and eggs.
